Thousands of Burundi refugees in Rwanda seeking resettlement in Australia and America

Quote:

A growing number of Burundian refugees in Rwanda are desperately struggling to secure a visa to travel to Western countries in the hope of starting a new life.
According to the Rwandan government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 71,00 asylum seekers from Burundi arrived in the country over the last three months following the political violence in April.

After fleeing violence in his native country, Josee Niyitanga is among the young Burundian refugees living in Mahama refugee camps in southeastern Rwanda who are determined to leave Rwanda as soon as possible.

Unable to find work in Rwanda, young Burundian refugees have started moving to Kenya and neighboring Uganda, where several Western nations have established embassies, in a move to secure a visa to migrate to the West, where they hope to improve their living conditions.
